XPath challenge: can you simplify this XPath expression?

Hi Folks,
I created an XPath expression and I am wondering if it can be simplified.
The XPath expresses this:
There must be one child Title element and
there must be zero or more child Author elements and
there must be one child Date element and
nothing else.
Here's the XPath 2.0 expression I created:
count(Title) eq 1 and
count(Author) ge 0 and
count(Date) eq 1 and
count(*[not(name() = ('Title','Author','Date'))]) eq 0
I think this is the simplest possible XPath, but perhaps you can see a simpler expression?
/Roger
